I had been with my girlfriend for a few years now and I had always thought that our relationship was pretty good. We had fun together, we had good conversations, and we both seemed to understand each other pretty well.
Started to be jealous of my best friend
But lately, something had been off.
At first, I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but then I noticed that my girlfriend was acting a little differently around me.
She seemed to be jealous of my best friend. We had been friends since secondary school, and he was like a brother to me.
But it seemed like every time we would hang out, she would get mad and accuse me of spending more time with him than with her.
At first, I tried to brush it off and reassure her that I still cared about her. I even went out of my way to make sure that I was spending time with her and not my best friend.
But no matter what I did, Jenny was still jealous.
Jealousy turned into argument
One day, we had a huge argument about it and she stormed out of my house. I couldn’t believe it had come to this. I had to do something to fix this.
I called my best friend and asked him to meet me. I told him about the situation and he offered to talk to her.
He said he would try to explain to her that he was just my friend and we had a strong bromance going on and that I still loved her.
I agreed and I asked him to come over to my house.
When he arrived, my girlfriend was already there. I could tell that she was still angry, but he managed to convince her that it was just a misunderstanding.
He reassured her that I still cared about her and that I would never do anything to hurt her even though he and I were spending a good amount of time together.
To my surprise, she agreed and even apologized for her behavior. It seemed like everything was going to be okay.
Girlfriend still left me because she wanted to be my priority
The next day, I found out that she had broken up with me. She said that she could never trust me again and that she couldn’t handle the idea of me spending more time with my best friend than with her.
I was heartbroken.
I had lost the woman I loved because of something small like spending more time with my best friend instead of her.
